Coaching Questions Group 8

To help your group and the teachers prepare for the tutor meetings, we would like you to answer a few questions in between sessions. The following paragraphs list the questions for each of the weeks, please write you answers directly underneath the questions.

After the kick-off - Week 1

• What are you expecting to learn during the Robots course?

W: The ability to implement the knowledge acquired in the previous two courses.

• What kind of coaching do you expect?

W: More subtle guidance than actual coaching, in the sense that we will not be told where to go, but that we rather are stopped if we are going in completely the wrong direction.

• What kind of coaching would you prefer?

W: I am personally more fond of feedback regardless of the results. Not only saying when something's wrong, but also when we are headed in a right direction. It gives a bit more peace of mind whilst working on a project.

• What will the coaches expect of you?

W: Well, considering my lack of actual expertise concerning robotics (apart from the two other use robotics courses), I think the best thing to realise is that I try and I mean well.
